Key Points: Steam Distillation
Applicable for separation/purification of organic compounds (solids or liquids) that are:
- Insoluble in water
- Volatile in steam
- Have vapour pressure 10–15 mm Hg at 373 K
- Contain non-volatile impurities
Organic compound is passed with steam → distils at a temperature below its normal boiling point.
Example: Aniline (b.p. 457 K) purified by steam distillation at 371.5 K.
Other examples: nitrobenzene, bromobenzene, o-nitrophenol, salicylaldehyde, o-hydroxyacetophenone, essential oils, turpentine oil.
